I am wondering how to implement proper help for a wxPython application
that will run on Windows, Linux and Mac. In particular I need both
context/tooltip style help as well as conventional help pages and
hooked into the Help button in dialogs. I will be authoring the
help text.
The demo includes the context/tooltip help, but not the other stuff.
It looks like wxHtmlHelpController would do the trick (with quite
a steep learning curve Sadly it doesn't appear to be implemented
in wxPython. (The help page about what is implemented isn't too accurate
a guide either since it doesn't list wxGrid as implemented either even
though I know it is).

Does anyone have advice/examples/tips?
The wxHtmlHelpController and related classes are wrapped in wxPython, it's in the wxPython.htmlhelp module. There is an example of its use in the wxPython/tools/helpviewer.py module.
